UAE National Committee to Combat Human Trafficking to launch nation-wide media campaign

Abu Dhabi: The UAE National Committee to Combat Human Trafficking will launch a nation-wide media campaign to enhance awareness about the crime of human trafficking. This was announced at the 11th meeting held yesterday in the Presidential Palace in Abu Dhabi. The committee discussed several topics related to human trafficking and its implications.




Amongst other key topics, discussions focused on the nation- wide media campaign in the UAE. The committee discussed plans to foster a partnership between the public and private sector on trafficking issues, which aims at uniting the nation’s efforts against this criminal activity. The media campaign will also enforce the UAE's efforts in dealing with the problem and explain the legal implications of the crime as well as the tough penalties imposed against any perpetrators of this criminal activity.




In addition, the Committee decided to launch a survey on human trafficking crimes that will help officials tackle the issue. Members discussed the creation of a website on efforts to combat human trafficking, which will serve as an effective communications channel and official information source in addition to enhancing awareness about the crime.




Dr. Anwar Gargash, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Chair of the UAE National Committee to Combat Human Trafficking, said: "The UAE has succeeded in drawing support for its battle to combat human trafficking domestically and globally, through important initiatives that we launched against this criminal activity. The success of our initiatives has motivated us to exert more efforts to deal with the issue and eliminate it. Our leadership has contributed in empowering the committee and supporting its mission to implement our four-pillared action plan".




He added: "Human trafficking poses a direct threat to social and moral values of UAE society. It is imperative that international players unite against this crime. As an active member of the international community, we will use all our resources to fight this inhumane activity. To achieve this, we will launch a nation-wide media campaign.”




The National Committee members also discussed the importance of bilateral relationship building in trafficking issues by signing MoUs with countries such as Belarus and Armenia. Dr. Gargash stressed that these partnerships are part of the strategic pillars of the committee's mission, and will help in strengthening relationships and information-sharing between countries, thus positively influence the efforts being exerted against human trafficking.




The Committee also approved to host specialized workshops for security personnel about human trafficking, in co-operation with the International Training Center in Belarus, aimed at building the skills and capabilities of security forces to fight against this crime.




The National Committee has also agreed to hold an Arab Forum under the supervision of the Arab League and decided to participate in the International Organization for Migration's meetings held respectively in Kabul and Kazakhstan.

Key colour themes are enriched with warm earthy tones, vibrant russets and chic
neutrals, infused with pretty pastels and a scattering of denim.




The ‘puritan’ look celebrates military precision with chic tailoring creating a strong silhouette softened with ruffles and lace.




‘Rock folk’ talks of attitude, headlining the golden era of the 1970s. Flares and paisley all feature in this ultra cool collection.




Paying homage to English traditions is the ‘Bloomsbury’ look with elegant knits and tea dresses telling a good old English tale.




Encounter woodland prints, pale pastels and vintage denim in the Ladbroke Grove. For those who prefer the street Urchin look, NEXT has introduced a fearless independent style with grey scale separates underlining yellow and plum.

Music and art inspire Topman’s autumn winter collection

Topman’s autumn winter collection celebrates individuality and youth, drawing inspiration from American beat artists and novelists, London’s party scene and 50’s rock. Defining the trend, Malek Saad, Brand Manager, Topman said: “The latest collection is about the strong spirit and self-expression of youth and focuses on four main themes - Writers Block, Shambles, Blockheads, and Fall Out, each with a distinct style. Accessories are key this season; mixture of textured wool, linen and fur scarves, oversized coloured beanie hats, and rough boots are used to create individual styles.”




Writers Block portrays the tough attitude of youth, inspired by the music of the 1980’s, Parisian riots of the 60’s and spirited eclectism of Eastern Europe, reflecting emotions of rebellion and anti-establishment. With a mature and refined feel and references to American beat generation artists and novelists like Jack Kerouac, Writers Block is an eclectic trend mixed with themes of simplicity.




Modern twin sets are evident throughout the collection in the shape of either jacquard polos and bird’s eye knits or polo necks and updated cardigans. As layering is key to the trend, innerwear styling becomes apparent. The introduction of stab-stitch shirting worn underneath long line nylon macs and mixed with twin pleat chinos captures the intellectual feel perfectly. The trend is completed with a mixture of textured wool and linen mix scarves and oversized coloured beanie hats.




“One of the season’s key trends is the Shambles look, drawing inspiration from London’s current club scene. Shambles fuses 50’s rockabilly trends with modern underground styling. Black is the dominant colour throughout interspersed with highlights of other colours,” Malek added.




Faux shearling and fur lined denim jackets are worn over check shirts, whilst double breasted jersey hooded tops and nylon coach jackets add a youthful edge. Red and black check bomber jackets are matched with straight leg jeans turned up at the ankle and finished with stud braces and heavy industrial boots.




Drawing comparisons with the look of a working class Dickensian gypsy, Blockheads is a more autumnal trend with influences from the American deep south. With a colour palette of muted and rustic tones, a narrow and elongated silhouette is created with longer length bib front t-shirts worn underneath waistcoats and double breasted hand knit look cardigans. Workwear denim or painted canvas jeans are mixed with worn blanket check shirting and complimented by the introduction of washed wool A-line coats. Black padded donkey jackets add a subtle military feel. The trend is accessorised by a selection of fur hats and scarves, grey marl scarves and a mixture of tweed trainers.




Reflecting emotions of anger and frustration Fall Out looks back to an age where introverted individuals expressed their discontent with society through their clothing. This trend has heavy influences of military apparel and manages to fuse both smart and casual garments.




Outerwear is key throughout with variations of double breasted military coats worn over simple shirting and asymmetrical hooded tops. An element of protection is augmented with the introduction of jersey macs, bond edge long line coats and knitted balaclavas. The aggressive aesthetic is further enhanced by coated skinny denim trousers twinned with thin leather belts.




Topman is one of the leading fashion brands operating in the region through M.H. Alshaya Co., a leading international franchise operator of the world’s most recognized retail brands.

Desert Challenge Sets World - Class Standard For UAE Sport - Sulayem

Mohammed Ben Sulayem today launched the official countdown to the 2008 UAE Desert Challenge by saying that the spectacular event has created a blueprint for world class sporting occasions in the Emirates. Sulayem, who introduced the dramatic cross country rally in 1991, said the Desert Challenge is a perfect example of how government backing and private sector support can combine to create outstanding international success in the sporting arena.




"Over the years we've developed a formula for success with the Desert Challenge which can be applied to many other sports events," said Sulayem, President of the Automobile and Touring Club of the UAE (ATCUAE).




Taking place from 24-31 October under the patronage H.H.Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the 2008 UAE Desert Challenge is the final round of both the FIA Cross Country Rally World Cup for cars and trucks, and the FIM Cross Country Rallies World Championship for bikes.




Added Sulayem: "We've built up a very close working partnership with many government authorities in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, with our private sector sponsors, and with many other suppliers and volunteers who all play their part in making sure the event runs smoothly.




"At the same time, we've used the Desert Challenge as an effective vehicle to promote the UAE, which has to be a priority when you're staging an event with strong backing from the government authorities. We rely on their support, and we have a duty to give something back."




Sulayem was speaking after meeting Saeed Harib, Managing Director of Dubai International Marine Club, to finalise arrangements to set up official headquarters for the Desert Challenge at Mina Seyahi.




"Saeed and his team have given us great support over the last five years to form a base for an event which needs top class facilities and a lot of care and attention," he said. "The Desert Challenge brings in a small army of competitors, technicians, officials and vehicles and our partnership with DIMC gives us a base which can cope with the event's huge demands."




Saeed Harib, who has turned DIMC into a world-class venue for a host of international powerboat racing, sailing and other water sport events, said: "We're all working together to promote the UAE as a top-class sporting destination, and to do that we have share facilities and expertise to get the best out of our events, and show the UAE in a positive light.




The ATCUAE will shortly announce a provisional entry list for the 2008 UAE Desert Challenge which will reveal a powerful line-up of drivers and riders from around the world.




Over the past few days an ATCUAE team has been out in the desert of the Rub Al Khali, or Empty Quarter, on the latest leg of a months-long operation to plot a route across some of the most demanding terrain in the region.




Following the assembly of the teams in Dubai next month and the big spectator attraction of the Super Stage on 26th October, the rally officially starts at 9.30am the following morning from the Emirates Palace hotel in Abu Dhabi.




The first competitive stage then stretches out from the UAE capital to the Moreeb Hill, near the Liwa oasis, from where four more days of epic desert action unfolds before the Desert Challenge finishes at Mina Seyahi on 31st October.

Dubai Industrial City Successfully Relocates Over 900 Wildlife Ahead of Construction Work

Dubai Industrial City, a member of Tatweer, has successfully completed a comprehensive relocation programme, ensuring the transfer of more than 900 wildlife species from the project site of the largest industrial destination in Dubai. The extensive operation took place ahead of the beginning of construction work across the six industrial zones of Dubai Industrial City, the third largest non-real estate project in Dubai.




The operation included the capture and relocation of endangered species like gazelles, cape hares, and various types of reptiles such as Arabian toad, leptien's dhab, Arabian sand gecko, sand lizards, as well as grey monitors.




Rashed Al Ansari, Vice President of Dubai Industrial City, said: "We initiated this programme in 2006 to ensure our massive site does not infringe on the local habitat and the wildlife. This relocation is the second such initiative and is part of our corporate social responsibility programme. The relocation of endangered species also complies with Dubai Quality Mark (DQM) standards and the Quality, Health, Safety and Environment (QHSE) policies that support sustainable development and wildlife preservation."




All captured animals were relocated to Al Marmoom Conservation Reserve, a dedicated Dubai Government animal reserve mandated to protect wildlife that has been relocated as a result of increasing construction work across the emirate.




In strict compliance with the codes of wildlife relocation, Dubai Industrial City ensured the animals were successfully transported to the new reserve within the first 24 hours of capture.




Al Ansari said: “In shifting the wildlife from their original habitat to a secure natural reserve, Dubai Industrial City has affirmed its belief in eco-friendly measures. The move also underscores our keenness to preserve the environment for the overall benefit of the community.




“Our responsibility did not end with the relocation activity. We still continue to spearhead a habitat protection programme and conduct a periodic monitoring of our efforts."




Located on Emirates Road adjacent to Al Maktoum International Airport and the Jebel Ali port, Dubai Industrial City also enjoys a strategic advantage of its proximity to major highways. Covering an area of 560 million square feet, it will be a dedicated industrial destination comprising six industrial clusters for food and beverage, base metal, mineral products, chemicals, transport equipment and parts and machinery and mechanical equipment.




Designed to incorporate additional facilities for logistics, warehousing and labour accommodation, apart from commercial, residential and entertainment zones, Dubai Industrial City will be an integrated one-stop industrial destination, providing tenants with a critical competitive advantage in human resources, logistics and business operations.
